schultzi··on As a VC, how is a $41 million investment in Color justified?
Sorry, that was probably a bad analogy. Either way, the ride can be enjoyed as a bystander. If you don't like it, don't use it. I totally agree that the UI is so unusable I uninstalled the app, but I am still interested in seeing how things turn out.

Thank you. All this negative criticism about Sequoia's investment is kind of like berating a friend for buying a project house. It might need work, it might be a failure, it might be a success. Let's just all sit back and enjoy the ride, whatever it may be.

A camera in the back and some video tools could make for some really awesome desktops. Seeing a virtual Godzilla stomp around the city would be so cool. Bonzi Buddy 2020.

I really hope space shuttles aren't built by "throwing warm bodies" at the task.
schultzi··on Code Reviews as Relationship Builders
Definitely this. It can be helpful to both parties. The learning opportunities for experienced developers start to thin with time, and one of the best ways to combat that is to get a fresh perspective.
schultzi··on What's your favorite text editor/IDE?
The lack of PHP on that list makes me feel dirty for writing it in.
